The highest crossing of the Alps by cable car
Matterhorn Alpine Crossing
The cable car journey around the Matterhorn offers breathtaking views of the mountain landscapes of Zermatt and Cervinia, taking guests on a fascinating journey through the diverse fauna, flora, and glacier scenery of both countries. The adventure begins as soon as you board: state-of-the-art cabins, the highest safety standards, and a panorama that is truly unrivalled. Along the route, numerous highlights await, including the crossing of the border between Switzerland and Italy at nearly 3500 metres above sea level.
Whether as a day trip from Zermatt to Cervinia or as part of a longer journey, the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing is an experience in a class of its own.
For added comfort during the journey, a luggage transport service is available twice daily, allowing you to enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery in a more relaxed and carefree way.

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE
An overview of the trip
Sun terrace with magnificent views
Plan Maison
Plan Maison offers a wide range of activities, both in the summer and winter – not to mention a fantastic view of the surrounding peaks, especially the Matterhorn.
Recommendation
The Goillet reservoir occupies an old glacial basin and is an artificial lake that holds 12 million cubic metres of water. It gets its name from the word “goille”, which means “water hole” in the local dialect. On sunny days, the Matterhorn (4,478 m) can be seen majestically reflected in the lake.
It’s worth making a little detour to Lago Blu on the way back from Plan Maison to Breuil-Cervinia. It’s a small lake surrounded by 100-year-old larch trees and fed by fresh spring water. This gives it a very clear surface in which the Matterhorn is beautifully reflected. Not far away are the three small Layet lakes, also fed by springs. Each has its own distinct colour set off by the lush green of the meadowland that stretches along the valley.
